Since forming in October of 2006, Angelical Tears has stood as a unique
musical voice in the Oklahoma music scene. The band's heavy but melodic
sound is the result of a variety of musical influences such as Goth,
Classical, Metal, and Electronica. These elements all combine to create a
powerful metal sound with strong symphonic Goth elements.

The combination of the ethereal vocals of Julia Flansburg,
heavy guitars of Steven Bittle, pounding bass of Glenn Flansburg, and
thundering drums of JC give Angelical Tears a style and sound that sets
them apart from their peers in the Oklahoma music scene.

The
band's first show was in the "March Bandness" battle of the bands
contest organized by 94.7FM "The Buzz". The band quickly proved itself
by placing in the top four final bands. Fueled by this initial success,
the band sought further opportunities to perform, refine their sound,
and develop a fan base. Performances at regional/national venues like
The Samurai, Reggies, and The Rave/Eagles Ballroom; at festivals such as
Rock Jam, Dame-Nation, Rose State College's Festival of Modern Music,
and The Oklahoma State Fair; appearances on KSBI-TV's "Oklahoma Live",
Oklahoma University TV's "The Set", The Oklahoma Gazette's Annual Ghouls
Gone Wild Halloween Parade, and The All-Stars Tour have helped propel
Angelical Tears into the top tier of bands in Oklahoma. These successes
have also allowed Angelical Tears to share the stage with numerous
local/regional artists while opening for national acts such as Bang
Tango and The Misfits, as well as serving as direct support for the
internationally-reknown Japanese metal band, Loudness.

Angelical Tears released their debut, self-titled E.P. in August of
2010. Music from this CD has gained local/regional airplay on stations
like KATT 100.5FM, Oklahoma City's most popular rock radio station. The
EP has received glowing reviews both domestically and internationally by
Femme Metal Webzine, Sonic Cathedral, as well as numerous others. The
track "No More" was featured on Australian record label Blue Freya's
compilation CD "Born of Sand and Snow" as well as in the soundtrack for
the motion picture "Dark of Moon". The track "Save Me" will appear on
the soundtrack of the upcoming horror movie "Waterfront Nightmare". The
band has also consistently held the #1 rank locally on Reverbnation's
metal chart as well as a current rank of 142 nationally, and 298
globally (June, 2012). The combination of their active fan base,
reception of live performances, and EP success have also earned
Angelical Tears such honors as being named Unleash the Furies' Band of
the Month (Sept., 2011).

With their sights now set on national
and international tours, the band has branched out beyond the Oklahoma
area playing shows in Wisconsin, Colorado, Illinois, Kansas, Nevada,
Tennessee, and Texas. In addition to actively touring, Angelical Tears
has completed the recording of their debut LP, "The Eleventh Hour" which
was released June 23rd of 2012.
